Hello, fellow writer/illustrator. I thought this was a great beginning to a probably amazing webcomic (I have only read the first two episodes or whatever you call them).

I heard about you via the Stone Soup website as I go on it frequently. A video, called “Painting a Stone Soup Illustration”, is on there. I watched it and thought you were really good. I myself have submitted two stories to Stone Soup, one was not accepted but the other I am waiting to hear back from.

I love to read, write, and doodle. I mostly draw people as I am not that good at drawing other things. I write fantasties and adventures, some friendships and others I don’t know what to call them! I hope we can chat soon, though I am much younger than you.

Hi Sofia, thank you for writing this comment! I'm really happy you found my work through Stone Soup, I still treasure my days of writing for the magazine. I hope you hear back about your story soon! I would love to see some of your drawings and stories. If you want to email them to me, you can click on the "contact me" on the about page and we can chat more! Thanks again!

I’m a big Stone Soup fan and I read one or two of your stories. It was through the Nov./Dec. ’11 issue that I learnt of this website. It sounds very interesting! If I sign up for your Chapel newsletter, does that mean that I get to see your regular Friday comics on my e-mail? I plan to keep coming here! Keep up the great artwork!

I'm sorry, it's very hard to keep up with raising my puppy AND answering every single comment on this site! Yes, it does cost a small amount to ship things, but it's a courtesy I provide in exchange for you purchasing my work! :)

Oh my gosh, I would absolutely ADORE that! My P.O. Box number is on the "Contact Us" button below, feel free to send whatever you'd like -- getting anything in the mail from my readers would be FANTASTIC!

I didn't create my comic book online, and I'm sorry to say that there aren't any pre-made formats or websites I would recommend. Nobody uses Microsoft Word for their comics -- they most often use professional image editing programs such as Photoshop CS5, which is what I use. Of course, you can easily draw your comics all on paper as well. If you want more detailled tips, you can always send me an email!

I've self-published various books -- at age 14 and 15, respectively. Self-publishing is the way to go in my opinion, as getting a publisher is a very difficult and arduous process at any age, but more so at a younger one. I got published in magazines starting at age 11, however, and continuing through to the present time period -- I've been published in about 25+ magazines multiple times so far.

If you want tips on publishing your work, feel free to email me! You can click the "Contact Us" button at the bottom of the page and I'll get back to you right away. :D

Oh, thank you so much! It's so flattering to hear that you're going to buy it! Also, I hope you keep commenting on my comics -- there will be a new one in two days, because there's a new one on this website every Friday!

Woopie!!! 1 quick question... How do you get ideas for comics??? I want to start a comic book, but i'm terrible at thinking of funny things to say. Also, i just realized that on my computer my name came up as ella. Ooopps! I wonder what i did??

Sorry for the late response! Unfortunately, it's hard for me to give tips on coming up with ideas for comics because I never have trouble with that. The best advice I can give you is read comic books you think are funny and listen to people in your life that you think are funny, and try to imitate the way they structure jokes! Not the jokes themselves, of course, but think about how they make things funny. Let me know if that helps!

So Chapel Smith likes Lady Gaga? That's a pity, but expected for one so young. I suggest for her to try out Sarah Brightman, especially her album "Dive". Sarah can out sing Gaga 10 times! Also i suggest for her to try out the band "Nightwish", they are also very good too.
